It's only been a short while since my last venture through the void of #offtopic posting, but I think I've got more things to say. Been chilling and staying up late to argue with myself and thus: Rings of Power drama hasn't calmed down, I still see it places on Tumblr. It's all mildly amusing, and strangely reminiscent of the reaction when a large corp tried to produce related content to a fan-favorite story. I'll not comment on my opinions of the show (i don't care). Avantasia, one of my favorite metal bands (Blind Guardian fans are probably going to like 'em), has released a new album, which is incredibly exciting. Think 80's-reminiscent power metal (Beast in Black type -blam!-) but with more symphonic influences. They call themselves Rock Opera also if that helps... After watching that new Steampunk: Bladerunner anime, I suddenly binge-read 2 manga (Beserk and Chainsaw Man). I liked all 3. A couple of weeks later, I then watched the Alita: Battle Angel movie, so there's been a lot of content shoved into my brain, and as is my nature, OCs have been created for all of their respective universes. I'll spare myself from embarrassment and refuse to talk about them any further. Do y'all use other social platforms? I recently found a way to use the news app to access the (previously) blocked internet on my phone, and now I've got Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, and some other jazz, and branching out on other platforms has been an experience. 10/10, would recommend. Has anyone else thought about how most people would really only point to Edgar Allen Poe while talking about Gothic Literature? I mean, any one of his stories fits the bill perfectly. The only other author I can think of that captured that sheer dread and perfect insanity would be Lovecraft, but his stories are just not as entertaining, and they are usually called Cosmic/Eldritch Horror. I had more things to say, but they've slipped my mind. You get off easy this time, Dear Reader. I'll still have to interrogate you, as is due course. 1: Looking back on yourself, would you say that future you will cringe/be disappointed? It's kinda a personal question, but it's been on my mind for a while. (This is mainly directed at my fellow Teenz, because we are certainly most likely to participate in cringe behavior.) 2: What is your favorite niche? Everyone usually has one, just something not many other people also are interested in. If you don't have a niche, go find one. This is a demand. Finally, of the 3, which is a better play: -Hamlet -Macbeth -Romeo & Juliet Even if you have seen none of them, take a guess. There are right and wrong answers.
